17" Unibody MBP glossy screen same as old?

Is the new unibody 17" MBP the same glossy material as the old screen or is it the new high gloss reflective surface found in the new 15" unibody MBP?

Anyone that has seen the new MBP I would really appreciate your comments on this! Im ordering one tonight and am trying to decide on a screen, I love the old/current glossy screen, but the new glossy screen on the 15" MBP is too much for me so in that case i'd probably go for matte.

new high gloss.

Now the entire line (except the Air).

I like the matte but I find the glass cover offers quite a bit of protection and along with the rigid structure of the unibody makes for a solid build which is especially useful in the large 17 inch form.

It's the new high gloss reflective surface found in the new 15" unibody MBP.

The fact that it's glass is not the issue. As with CRT's it doesn't necessarily mean glossy if it has a anti-glare coating..

so ...there

There's only one version though, glass. The older screens weren't glass and the matte version isn't glass, so it's just glass vs. matte, not high gloss vs glossy vs matte. If apple coated their glass then it would be a different story.
